Samsung unveils UFS 5.0 storage with 10.8 GB/s transfer speed

Samsung Electronics announced a new Universal Flash Storage UFS 5.0 solution with a data transfer speed of 10.8 GB/s, positioning it as the industry’s fastest mobile storage technology. The company said the development marks an industry first and is intended to support more seamless and efficient AI services on future mobile devices.

The faster storage is expected to improve on-device AI performance by reducing latency and speeding up response times when mobile users run large language models. Samsung framed the milestone as a benchmark for the next-generation mobile memory market, where higher performance storage is becoming more important for AI workloads handled directly on devices.
